Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.213(d)(1): Each circular crosscut table was not guarded by a hood which met all the requirements of paragraph (c)(1) of this section for hoods for circular ripsaws. The employer is failing to ensure employees are protected from amputation hazards associated with unguarded circular ripsaws. This was most recently documented on November 14, 2017, at the worksite located at 502 E. Old Highway 260, Birch Tree, Missouri. Hardwoods of Missouri removed the manufacturer's guards and replaced them with guards manufactured within the company. The guards failed to completely enclose the portion of the saw above the table and that portion of the saw above the material being cut and were not designed as to protect the operator from flying splinters and broken saw teeth. The following crosscut table saws were not correctly guarded: a) Crosscut Solutions Inc. Cut-Off Saw, Model SS14M, Serial # 120106 b) Crosscut Solutions Inc. Cut-Off Saw, Model SS14M, Serial # 150816 c) Crosscut Solutions Inc. Cut-Off Saw, Model SS14M, Serial # 150817 d) Crosscut Solutions Inc. Cut-Off Saw, Model SS14M, Serial # 150818 e) Crosscut Solutions Inc. Cut-Off Saw, Model SS14M, Missing serial # f) Crosscut Solutions Inc. Cut-Off Saw, Model SS14M, Serial # 070512
